His journey in the world of animation has been both diverse and fulfilling, taking him from roles in digital ink and paint to the leadership position of running a studio, and everything in between.


Look Mom! Productions is renowned for its focus on original IP and adult animated comedies, and Stephen has been instrumental in shaping this vision.
